The Science of Brickmaking
George Frederick Harris
A humble brick begins as river mud, and George Harris tells its whole geology. His science of brickmaking traces the fluviatile, lacustrine, and marine brick-earths and the minerals that compose them. Technical, systematic, and grounded in the ground itself. A study of the earth that becomes the walls of cities. Discover the geology hiding in every brick. Note: an industrial and geological treatise on brick-earths.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
